In an article on the PrPro forum, Dan Isaacs offered some tips on workflow for editing Camtasia, or Camstudio footage. Some of the steps involve using other programs, both freeware and from Adobe, but might be of use, should one need to do the work on the Techsmith CODEC footage in Premiere.
LINK to article.
I would like to import Camtasia 3 video files into Premier Pro CS4 for editing. Two questions: 1) what is the best file format to export from Camtasia for editing in CS4, and 2) what codec should be used in creating files for export from Camtasia for best results in editing with PPCS4? I tried exporting the files as .swf's (swf object) and that format was not recognized by CS4 when I tried to import. After editing, I will be posting the files on the web as demo/instructional videos.
I'm not sure the platform/computer specs come into play much related to this question, here they are just in case:
Windows Vista OS:
Intel core i 7 processor (64 bit)
3.06 GHz processor
8MB Level 2 Cache
1 TB SATA Hard Drive
Labelflash SuperMulti Double Layer 18x DVD+- RW Drive
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 video card
High Definition Audio Chipset
7.1 Channel Surround Sound
10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Network
Expansion bays: 2 (1 free) External 5.25" bays; 2 (2 free) External 3.5" bays; 2 (1 free) Internal 3.5" bays
Expansion slots: 2 (1 free) PCI Express x16 Graphic Interface slot; 1 (0 free) PCI Express x1 Interface slot; 1 (1 free) PCI Express x4 interface slot
Jeff Bellune just posted some great comments and a link to his tutorial in your post in the CS4 forum.
Hope that his instructions will help you. See why I suggested posting?
Good luck,
Yes, very helpful. Great suggestion, thanks! But I didn't know how to search for that link you gave me (for example: /thread/508808?tstart=0). I put it into the search box on the forum, and it said "nothing found". What did I do wrong?
From a browser, you should just be able to click on the link, as it's HTML. That will open the article in either a window, or a tab, depending on the setup of your browser.
Good luck,
Ahhh. Ok.
I've tried everyone's advice. I have a camtasia uncompressed avi at 1024 x 768. I want premiere to output that after some basic edits using the premiere's export command. I'd like premiere to export a wmv file, avi, mov.
The problem is that it is always distorted.
I've tried all types of settings. I've played with matching on framerate, resolution, square pixels, .9 pixels. I've tried custom settings to export at 1024x768.
You name it. I've tried different codecs. Nothing works. It is always comes out distorted.
I've tried lagarith lossless codec. The output from camtasia always looks clear, whether it is an avi, wmv, or mov. But as soon as I export from Premiere it looks terrible.
If someone could just tell me that Premiere cannot do it, then I would be fine. I'd stop trying. I'm beginning to think it is not possible to export screencasts in premier at original resolution.
If it is possible, then I would appreciate a step by step guide. I'll even pay for it. I think what I'm trying to do is so simple, but eludes me.
I would so much appreciate some guidance. I am a student who spent a lot of money for Premiere and now it isn't doing what I thought it could.
Thanks in advance.
I think that Jeff Bellune was able to help you a bit. Was that in the PrPro forum, or the Encore forum?
Jeff does a great deal of work with tutorials, and I believe that he uses Camtasia for his tutorial creation, with editing in PrPro CS4.
Unfortunately, I do not have any experience with using video capture programs and editing the resulting files, so can not be of much help. I just posted the link to Dan's article for others.
Now, there are also several folk who frequent the Muvipix forum, who do tutorials, as well. I'd strongly suggest posting to the Community there and see if those users can offer more help.
Good luck, and wish that I could help,
Yes, Jeff helped and it was on the pr forum. We had a few emails back and forth, but as I recall he had not captured video as it played on a web site.
Glad that he was able to help. He's one of the top contributors (and a MOD) on both the PrPro and the Encore fora, plus the author of one of the best-ever books on Adobe Encore. He also does a ton of tutorials and then edits them with Adobe products.
As for capturing footage from a Website, I wonder if getting the original FLV, MOV, WMV, etc., might not be a better way to go.
Some years back, I had a somewhat similar Project. It was to be a video of a Website w/ embedded video. I created a mockup of the Webpage in Photoshop and then just did a PiP (Picture in Picture) of the motion footage to simulate it actually playing in a Web-based player on the page. Not sure if that sort of thing would help you, but you could also animate an image of a mouse pointer (cursor), to mimmick interactivity.
Just thinking there. If none helps, just ignore my ramblings.
Good luck,
Yes, I think PIP is probably the way to go when you want to show moving video on a web site. I captured the site before I really knew how to use Camtasia, and I noticed later that the default rate was 6fps, so the video (in a box) looks very jerky, but the rest of the screen looks fine. I haven't tried capturing anything at 30fps, but I was going to do that next. However, putting the video in separately is probably best because a 30fps capture probably takes a long time and results in a very big file that then has to be downsized later.
My use of things like PiP to "simulate" user interaction goes back to before the digital age. We used to shoot ads for HP and always assembled the monitor display from separate shots. Because of the limitations of the films of the day, we learned a lot of "workarounds," and even today I still use some to make things "look" like they are something else.
Good luck,
Unfortunately, apparently Techsmith doesn't have a 64 bit codec...
At this point, I'm editing PPro CS5 tutorials in CS4... as weird as that sounds.
I believe that Adobe includes a CS4 installer with PPro CS5 don't they?
Thank you for sharing that info. Like many suppliers, I feel that they are working on 64-bit, so that CODEC's, Effects, etc., will soon be ready. Maybe by then, MS will have released Win7-64 SP-1, and have fixed many driver issues too.
It is my understanding that yes, CS4 a 32-bit app, is included. Now, what I do not know is if this is an across-the-board inclusion, for CS5 upgrades, full priced program, and all suites, or if there are limitations. I would assume that it is available on the install media, probably as an option and probably on the last, or supplemental disc. However, I have no idea about the download version. Just a guess - it would not be in the download. I would check with Adobe, just to be sure WHERE it is included. I am thinking the suites, as some programs are not yet 64-bit, but it could be in the upgrade, or full program (which will also have Encore, a 32-bit app.).
Good luck,
If one is using PrPro CS5, and the latest Camtasia version w/ the 64-bit TS CODEC's, see Harm's, Jeff's and Todd's replies in this THREAD.
Long shot here....did you ever get this resolved? I'm having the same issue!
As that poster has not shown back up, I am not sure if he/she was able to sort things out. I know that Jeff Bellune was working with several folk on the PrPro and also on the Encore forum, regarding TechSmith CODEC's, and the editing of the Camtasia material. Perhaps a search in those fora, for "Camtasia" and maybe filter on that poster's screen name, will locate the threads there. I try to link to useful Camtasia discussions, but obviously miss many. If you do locate some additional useful info, please PM me, and I will add the links here.
Good luck,
For FRAPS, another video screen-cap program, there might be useful tips in this ARTICLE.
Good luck,
Here is another FRAPS thread, regarding intermediate CODEC's for editing.
Good luck,
Jeff Bellune has just done a TUTORIAL on using Camtasia footage in Premiere. He has been doing tutorials, using Camtasia and Premiere for some years, and this tells how he does it.
Note that Jeff uses PrPro for this, and the latter part of the tutorial are related to the ability of PrPro to do Sequences, plus the Desktop Project/Sequence Preset, and PrE does not have either of those. One will need to structure their workflow here, to match the capabilities of PrE.
Good luck,
One PrPro user has just done a TUTORIAL on using FRAPS as a video screen capture utility. This might prove useful to many.
Hope that this helps,
For FRAPS footage into PrElements, this PrE FAQ Entry might prove helpful.
One of the challenges, when using a video screen-capture program, like FRAPS, is that one is usually capturing from a computer monitor, that has a different Aspect Ratio (pixel x pixel dimensions), than standard Video. That is pretty easily handled in Premiere Pro, as one can set up a Project's Frame Size, and FPS to match what their video screen-capture program produces. It is not, however, so easy in PrE, as the available Project Presets are for traditional video, and when there is a different pixel x pixel Frame Size, one has but a few options, and usually leaving some black bars is the best. Usually, to accomplish this, they would choose a Project Preset, that has larger pixel x pixel dimensions, and then Import the video screen-capture footage into that.
The other option is to use Motion>Scale to increase the screen-capture footage, to fill at least one dimension (eliminating the black bars there), but if they wish to fill both dimensions, then something has to give, as the Aspect Ratios are different. Something, somewhere, must be cropped by the Frame Size of the Project, and this is usually not what is desired. Also, one could use the Fixed Effect>Motion>Scale, with Constrain Proportions unchecked, and Scale the height and width independently, but this WILL distort the Clip - might, or might not be what one wants.
For output, one has the option to do cropping, but not all output formats support this - however, some do.

Your physician or nurse will inform you of your discharge time. We strive to discharge patients who are medically ready as early as possible on the day of discharge. However, we will not rush a discharge for the saftey of you and your baby. Your nurse will give you a booklet of helpful information about your care as well as your baby's care when you are home. This book is a wonderful resource that can help guide you in the care of yourself and your baby for the first six weeks after delivery. If you have questions, please be sure to ask.
Car seats and clothesMake sure you and your baby have comfortable, seasonally appropriate cloths to wear home. Also, your baby must ride home in an approved infant car seat as required by law in the state of Missouri.Please review your car seat instructions for proper installation and have your car seat installed before you come to the hospital. Our staff are not experts in car seat installation, so please have your infant car seat and installation checked by experts. Get some restWhen you get home, you may wish to be alone with your new family. Accept offers of help, but leave enough time to rest. "Sleep when the baby sleeps" is also a good rule to follow.
What to expect
Call your health care provider if you experience fever, increase in vaginal discharge or bleeding, intense pain or cramping, feelings of depression or difficulty breathing.
Postpartum appointmentsYou will need to see your health care provider about six weeks after delivery of your baby. This is a good time to ask follow up questions about your health after delivery.
You will also need to have your baby seen by his or her pediatrician for vaccinations and regular well baby check ups. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends selecting and visiting your baby's new physician within the last three months of your pregnancy.

Savage Worlds Version
Have you ever had one of those days...one where nothing seems to be going right? One that starts out bad and just seems to get worse and worse? Today is one of those days. To top it off, your crew just got a call from the Boss; you have three hours to plan a bank hit, get something out of Vault Security Box 42, and get out. So far, you've broken a shoe lace, broken a mirror, and feel like you're being stalked by black cats. You've got a bad, bad feeling about this...
This adventure takes a (potential) break from the normal Wellstone City Chronicles and uses a varient in the rules of the Wellstone City Encounter Deck to make an adventure that is literally different every time you play it. By drawing three cards at the beginning of the adventure, the Narrator determines what events happen during the hit that make this time through it unique. These three card draws can dramatically change the way the adventure runs, and even shift alliances of the PCs, so we consider it to be the "gag episode" of Wellstone City.
When drawing cards, you might get any of the following, plus other results for every single other card in the deck:
This adventure is filled with art from Ari Syahrazad, and comes with a map pfovided by Fabled Environments! A larger version of the map can be purchased from Fabled Environments, either from their store front here at Drive Thru RPG and their affiliates, or get a huge physical print out from their online store at www.fabledenvironments.com!

IT may have been overcast but the water was sizzling with fun at Glenbrook Swim Centre's open day last Saturday.
There were aqua aerobics, Pilates, learn-to-swim demonstrations and splashes of laughter in the pool as many guests enjoyed the free admission and festivities, which included an appearance by the Rural Fire Service.
With the centre launching their aqua aerobics and pilates classes this week, and with construction of their new learn-to-swim dome under way ahead of its scheduled opening early next year, centre co-ordinator Scott Saunders said the day was a chance for locals to enjoy the facility.
"It was a good day, we had a bit of rain, but it was certainly a success," Mr Saunders said.
"It was just about encouraging visitation here and making people aware that it is a good environment for learn to swim, aqua aerobics, Pilates and recreational swimming."
Showing all the benefits the centre has and "putting everything on display" was Mr Saunders' highlight of the day.
"There was a lot of good feedback in relation to the aqua aerobics and Pilates so we're really, really confident it will do well," he said. "An enclosed dome is certainly very attractive for people in the Penrith area and Plains too so it's going to be a really exciting new venture."
Mr Saunders said he was looking forward to seeing families on day trips to the centre and locals lapping it up.
"We've just got a new plant room and new filtration system so there's fantastic water quality and we've just had the landscaping done, so it's an attractive sight and a fantastic attraction," he said.

All those mentioned were amazing cover designers, especially Gil Kane, who "convinced" me to buy many a comic book in the 70s-- with mixed results from my perspective (if not Marvel'$--$$)
Good= TOMB OF DRACULA #26 and 32
Bad= Some random reprint for which he did a new cover!
One name that none of you mentioned was DUSTIN NGUYEN.
I had'nt been reading super-hero comic books for a while and was instantly mesmerized by a cover he did for an issue of DETECTIVE COMICS--the Paul Dini writer's credit on the cover sealed the deal but I may have bought it anyway.
Also these guys:
DAVE McKEAN
I used to buy comics for which they did the cover SPECIFICALLY so I could literally rip the cover off and keep for later framing and\or dry-mounting!

FAV Comics: Lil' ABNER, DICK TRACY, BATMAN, UNCLE SCROOGE, KAMUI, TOMB OF DRACULA, THE MIGHTY THOR by LEE\KIRBY, WONDER WOMAN by PEREZ\KAREN BERGER, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 1-206 and EC COMICS!
Up until around 1980, the covers made me want to buy the comic for what was inside them. Increasingly after 1980, the covers made me want to buy the comics for the covers--as usually they had little to do with the story inside.
To illustrate . . . a cover like this one for 'Tec 367 (one of my best loved comics of all time), had me breathless to read the story inside and I would not be disappointed . . .
. . . while a cover like this one had me wanting to buy Wonder Woman 72 just for the cover alone, even though I was long past caring about the stories inside WW . . .
Although I appreciate good covers, especially those exciting but often misleading silver age covers, I usually don't buy a comic just because of a good cover. Sometimes when a cover is exceptionally good, I might flip open the book to make sure that the cover artist is also the interior artist before buying.
That said, I did buy this Hulk comic only because I was impressed by the Gary Frank cover:
And I'm not even a big Gary Frank fan. I think his artwork is pretty good, but sometimes marred by extreme facial expressions.
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
Martin Luther King Jr., Letter from Birmingham Jail, April 16, 1963
The only title I have considered buying in recent years due solely to the covers is J.H. Williams' run on Detective Comics.
I am always a big fan of covers with very strong design elements. Hence maybe my favorite cover artist ever... [to be continued in another post where I can actually post more scans]
Brian Bolland. No question.

I am what I am and that's all what I am
The thing is with buying comics just for their covers, it doesn't seem worth it anymore, because you can look at them on the internet. And actually that's better, because if I buy the physical comics, they just go into boxes where I might never look at them again. But I can look at them all the time on the internet. So it hardly seems worth it to pay four dollars just for a cover.
Although a fair few of my favourite cover artists have been listed in this thread already (Bolland, Ross, Steranko etc), I don't think I usually buy a comic just for the cover. I mean, yes, the cover is an important factor in making me want to pick up a book (especially back in the day, when I only had limited pocket money to spend on comics), but even the best cover in the world wouldn't have made me pick up a Thor comic (I had no interest in Thor as a kid and, truth be told, still don't really). So, yeah...I'm not really all that swayed by covers I suppose.

About cjstg
not everyone hates trailers.
i think we should ban assault copyright and high capacity copyright magazines. we should also look into the better mental health options for bloggers so this never happens again.
no, you can't say we "reserve the right" to do something and then say "just kidding". by saying that you "reserve the right" indicates that (a) you have thought of it and (b) you have every intention of doing it under some set of circumstances. otherwise, there would be no reason to reserve the right.
i know that this seems extreme (it is!), and the people of the will feel the pain sooner than the mayor. in the end, however, the mayor will feel pain when he is up for reelection. this will be true especially after several lawsuits have drained the city coffers and they cannot afford to maintain the streets.
i believe you have hit on the only way to respond to this kind of behavior. anything else only creates publicity for the company.
but doesn't anyone find it ironic that the chief of the cia was brought down by another agency snooping into email?
"in the second most powerful position in the world"
seriously, with the exception of dick cheney who was pulling the strings on w, who really thinks the vice president has any power at all? true, the vice president is the second highest position in our government. however, the position of vice-president has only one very limited power and one not used very often at that.
"If everyone just "does without," how does this improve the situation for either the content creator or the customers? Once you've taken the piracy out of it, all you've got left is a set of lousy options that do nothing for everyone involved. If rights holders are happier merely saddling up their high horse and riding to the nearest moral peak, so be it. Riding that horse won't make you any richer, though. All it does is further separate you from your potential income."
maybe i'm a defeatist, but it seems clear that the lesson comes across loud and clear. you screw with the customers and they will go away. right now with all the pirating there is always that to blame. if people just ignore/boycott products that are priced wrong or come with unacceptable strings attache, the resulting lack of sales will send the message. right now they all can say, "but, but pirating!" the illusion of getting the pirates to pay up goes away and the legacy players might either learn or go away when they can't adapt.
when the government send in forces to quell violence, that is not protecting a business model. it's protecting human rights.
and they hate children and musicians.
since when have you supported paying people for their "story" unless they wrote it. in fact, you are the one that regularly rants on about people who feel they deserve to be paid just because somebody made a story about their life.
this level of inconsistency is becoming a problem, mike. i really like this site, but i'm starting to be unable to trust you to speak coherently because you are too busy trying to nitpick the xxaa's at any cost, including your integrity.
let them lock up their "culture". do we really want it? personally i would rather watch someone like louis ck who understand what it means to create culture. free ideas get out and prosper, caged ideas wilt.
what gets measured gets changed.
great, crickets.
so mike why is there no mike m or michael m who has signed the petition? seems like if you are going to be asking us to do this, you should at a minimum support it.
"wife's daughter from a previous marriage" = step-daughter.
isn't this the guy using religion to wage war on women? that's certainly innovative. sorta like the v2 project was innovative.
i'm not usually very good at choosing early winners, but i am usually pretty good at identifying tipping points. this, my friends, was the tipping point. finally someone in media power has put themselves (however reluctantly) out there and finally proven that non-drm isn't just for niche players.
what i find amazing is that in a world that we are told and shown by our leaders is so corrupt, people for the most part are pretty honest and honorable when given the opportunity. more magic from the person who made magic cool again.
one of the defining measures of satire is the concept that it is apparent that it is satire. not sure if this was the case here.
so are you saying that the school should come into students' homes and monitor what they are doing?
unless school resources are used or teachers are named, the school has no business in this, period.

Techniques for managing user identities in Linux
Smart Access
Maybe password security isn't perfect, but most networks depend on it. This month we examine some tools for smarter, more versatile authentication.
Despite years of constant high-tech innovation, the password remains a fundamental feature of most networks. Various tools let you consolidate, encrypt, sanitize, and synchronize passwords, but unless your company invests heavily in smart cards or other new age technologies, you'll eventually have to log in somewhere. This month we look at some techniques for supporting, securing, and simplifying user authentication in Linux.
Our first article examines some tools for authenticating users with one-time passwords. You'll learn why many organizations prefer passwords that change with every login. We then zero in for a look at OPIE and OTPW – a pair of open source solutions for one-time password authentication.
Many Linux users would rather not even think about Microsoft, but part of our mission has always been to let readers know about free, open source tools for easy integration with proprietary technologies. Our next article describes how Samba's Windbind service lets Linux clients participate in Microsoft's Active Directory environments.
We'll also discuss some options for creating password-protected pages for your website. We'll look at how the Apache web server handles authentication, we'll examine authentication alternatives based on SQL and LDAP, we'll show you how to create a custom authentication solution in Perl.
The final article describes how to use the OpenID service as a single authentication system for multiple web accounts. Read on for more on some great techniques for managing user identities in Linux.

Post subject: 2011 Base Commanding Officer Nomination Thread
That time of year again!
Nominations for offices may be made starting 12:01 A.M. EST September 1st of each year and continue until 11:59 P.M. EST, September 10th.
A member may nominate themselves and that will require a second nomination. Standing officers must post their desire to seek another term or decline to seek another term (no response is considered a decline). No second is required for standing officers.
If no nominations are made for a particular office by 11:59 P.M. EST September 10th, then the officers holding these positions will remain in office. If a standing Outpost or Base Commander does not seek another term and no nominations are made for that unit, the XO must accept or decline being promoted to CO. If the XO declines (no response is considered a decline) then the Legion Council is empowered to appoint a new CO or to consider having the unit absorbed into a neighboring unit due to lack of leadership.
Base Command, feel free to post any translation as needed

While Chansey was once completely outclassed by her older sister Blissey, Eviolite has transformed her into one of the most bulky Pokemon in the entire game. Eviolite boosts both of Chansey's defensive stats by 50%, making her a fantastic mixed wall. The only downside to holding Eviolite is that it forces Chansey to lose out on precious Leftovers recovery; however, this is essentially a non-issue, as with an efficient EV spread, Chansey is still able to take hits better than Blissey ever could. As if all this weren't enough, Chansey is able to act as an amazing team supporter thanks to Wish's new mechanic, which heals teammates with 50% of the user's max HP. Since Chansey's HP stat is tremendous, she can pass massive 352 HP Wishes to any Pokemon on her team, keeping them completely healthy throughout the duration of the match.
However, it isn't all good news for the Egg Pokemon. Chansey is still severely hindered by her downright-terrible base 35 Special Attack stat, forcing her to rely upon Seismic Toss and Toxic to deal damage to opposing Pokemon. This means that Ghost-types with Substitute, especially the ever-dangerous Gengar, will be a tremendous problem for her to take on (and to a lesser extent, Pokemon who can utilize 101 HP Substitutes). Additionally, while Chansey is ridiculously bulky, physical STAB Fighting-type attacks, such as Terrakion's Close Combat, will still take her down in a flash. Overall, Chansey is an amazingly bulky wall who can take almost any attack thrown at her with aplomb, so you should utilize her as such.
Other Options
Counter is a pretty cool option, as thanks to Chansey's incredible HP stat and low Defense stat, Counter will often net a KO on physical attackers. Light Screen is an okay option, as it allows other teammates to easily tank special attacks, but this role is often better filled by Cresselia and Bronzong. Skill Swap can be used to stop Reuniclus from destroying your team. Psych Up has some value in that it can go through Substitutes and thus steals defensive boosts such as a Quiver Dance or a Calm Mind boost from a Jirachi, Reuniclus, or Celebi, but it has little use outside of that. Chansey has some gimmicky options in Sing and Charm, but she has better things to do.
Checks and Counters
The large list of Fighting-types in OU are the best way to keep Chansey in check; Terrakion, Breloom, Keldeo, Infernape, Conkeldurr, and Lucario are all Pokemon that can switch in pretty easily and force Chansey out. However, some of these must be wary of Thunder Wave on the switch. Conkeldurr is probably the most consistent Fighting-type switch-in, as it doesn't care about Toxic or Thunder Wave. Any strong physical attacker with high-powered STAB attacks or Fighting-type coverage can usually muscle past Chansey. Strong Ground- and Dragon-types such as Garchomp, Choice Band Dragonite, and Double Dance Landorus-T can easily get past Chansey or force it out.
Calm Mind Reuniclus gives Chansey hell thanks to Magic Guard and Recover, and can easily get past Chansey with Psyshock. Stallbreakers such as Gliscor, Reuniclus, and Gengar easily force Chansey to switch. Gliscor is immune to status thanks to Poison Heal and can Taunt Chansey due to its higher base Speed. Reuniclus has Magic Guard and can use Chansey as setup bait. Gengar is immune to Toxic and Seismic Toss and can use Chansey's own health to its advantage via Pain Split and can also carry Taunt. Gothitelle is scary for Chansey to face, as it can easily Trick a Choice item onto Chansey, as Shadow Tag prevents switching. Once locked into a move, it can be KOed or used as setup bait the following turn. Magic Bounce users such as Xatu and Espeon can easily bounce back status inducing moves and Stealth Rock. Finally, Trick users such as Latios and Rotom-W cripple Chansey by replacing her beloved Eviolite with a handicap.

A thriller and an ugly game on a busy Saturday
I love this time of the year, although it is a very busy time - especially if you have teams alive in the WIAA post-season ritual. The girls have been underway since Feb. 24, as I saw Tosa West handle Tosa East and Brookfield East beat Racine Park in first round games, advancing to Saturday's regional finals.
The matchups on Saturday weren't real exiting. No. 1 seed Brookfield Central (20-1), who destroyed Brookfield East (9-13) twice by 27 and 22 points, respectively, hosted the Lady Spartans in a 1 p.m. game and Divine Savior Holy Angels (18-3) hosted Tosa West (11-11) that night. I wasn't expecting a lot.
Dr Seuss born 105 years ago today
Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, was born on March 2, 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts. His mother, Henrietta Seuss Geisel, often soothed her children to sleep by "chanting" rhymes remembered from her youth. Ted credited his mother with both his ability and desire to create the rhymes for which he became so well known.
Ted left Springfield as a teenager to attend Dartmouth College, where he became editor-in-chief of the Jack-O-Lantern, Dartmouth's humor magazine. Although his tenure as editor ended prematurely when Ted and his friends were caught throwing a drinking party, which was against the prohibition laws and school policy, he continued to contribute to the magazine, signing his work "Seuss." This is the first record of the "Seuss" pseudonym, which was both Ted's middle name and his mother's maiden name.
To please his father, who wanted him to be a college professor, Ted went on to Oxford University in England after graduation. However, his academic studies bored him, and he decided to tour Europe instead. Oxford did provide him the opportunity to meet a classmate, Helen Palmer, who not only became his first wife, but also a children's author and book editor.
After returning to the United States, Ted began to pursue a career as a cartoonist. The Saturday Evening Post and other publications published some of his early pieces, but the bulk of Ted's activity during his early career was devoted to creating advertising campaigns for Standard Oil, which he did for more than 15 years.
The Cat in the Hat, perhaps the defining book of Ted's career, developed as part of a unique joint venture between Houghton Mifflin (Vanguard Press) and Random House. Houghton Mifflin asked Ted to write and illustrate a children's primer using only 225 "new-reader" vocabulary words. With the release of The Cat in the Hat, Ted became the definitive children's book author and illustrator.
After Ted's first wife died in 1967, Ted married an old friend, Audrey Stone Geisel, who not only influenced his later books, but now guards his legacy as the president of Dr. Seuss Enterprises.
At the time of his death on September 24, 1991, Ted had written and illustrated 44 children's books, including such all-time favorites as Green Eggs and Ham, Oh, the Places You'll Go, Fox in Socks, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. His books had been translated into more than 15 languages. Over 200 million copies had found their way into homes and hearts around the world. His honors included two Academy awards, two Emmy awards, a Peabody award and the Pulitzer Prize.

Five schools left as post-season heats up
Three Brookfield schools and two Wauwatosa schools are still alive as the post-season heats up - the Brookfield Central girls and the boys teams from Brookfield Central, Brookfield East, Wauwatosa East and Wauwatosa West.
Hopefully the Central girls got a wake-up call last Saturday, when they rallied from a seven-point deficit with six minutes left to defeat a fired-up East team, 48-46, to advance to this weekend's sectional. The Lady Lancers will have their hands full, playing in a sectional whose four teams have a combined 76-10 record. Central (20-1) opens with Franklin (17-5) at 6 p.m. at Greenfield Friday and then with a win meets the winner of the Muskego (20-1) and Racine Case (19-3) at 7 p.m. Saturday.

Wauwatosa Police Reserves 2009 Recognition Dinner
The Wauwatosa Police Reserve Unit aids the Wauwatosa Police Department by responding in times of emergency, assisting at parades, Tosa's Night Out, Hart Fest, Tosa Fest and many other events where supplemental manpower is needed. In addition the Reserves are involved in outreach work that includes visits to Children's Hospital, raising funds for the American Cancer Society and assisting the Wauwatosa Crime Stoppers in their many fund raising events. The Reserves are uniformed Officers who receive training similar to that of a regular Police Officer and perform many of the same duties. The typical Reserve Officer falls into one on of two categories , a young person with a interest in pursuing a law enforcement career ; many of our former Reserves are now serving proudly as regular Officers throughout the Country and credit the Wauwatosa Police Reserves with their success. The second category is a more mature individual who is set in their career outside of law enforcement and just wants to give to the community.
On Saturday March 7, 2009 the Wauwatosa Police Department, Mayor, Common Council and Fire and Police Commission honored the Wauwatsoa Police Reserves at their annual awards banquet. The Wauwatosa Police Reserves are a volunteer unit of men and women who give to the community through their service as Police Reserves. This year was a record year in the number of hours that Reserves gave which totaled 5,126. I personally have the honor and privelage of working with this outstanding group of people and on behalf of the Wauwatosa Police Department want to personally and publicaly thank all off the Reserve Officers and their families for their efforts. Every Reserves gives selflessly and seeks nothing in return except the ability to continue serving Wauwatosa.
Thoughts and things ....
There is a good possibility that Wauwatosa East (17-4) might be playing its final basketball games this weekend with Marquette (18-2) and probably Milwaukee Washington (20-1) standing in the way of a second-straight state trip.
The Red Raiders have seven seniors on this year's team - Eric Williams, Keondre Gholston, Fraizier Reiland, Michael Cupertino, Eric Neal, Vinnie Ingrilli and Isaiah Ward. This could be their final time wearing the Red Raiders' garb.
March Sadness
While everyone gets excited about 'March Madness' - I include myself in that group - there is a sadness I also go through at this time.
Why March Sadness? The high school basketball season is over.

Type 2 Diabetes Can Be Prevented
March 24 is DIabetes Alert Day and everyone should take notice. More than 57 million Americans have pre-diabetes. This is a condition where blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not yet diabetes. Add in the number who have already been diagnosed with diabetes and the number is staggering. Consequences of this chronic disease can be devastating not only in potential premature death but also in quality of life prior to death. People with diabetes suffer higher rates of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, kidney disease, blindness, as well as many other types of complications.
Ignoring diabetes is risky business. Recent research has shown that even during pre-diabetes, some long-term damage may already be occurring in the body, especially in the heart and circulatory system. Before people develop type 2 diabetes, they almost always have pre-diabetes. Research has also shown that if you take action to manage your blood glucose during pre-diabetes, you can delay or even prevent type 2 diabetes from ever developing.

Family Storytime
Pretty in pink ...
The Wauwatosa West girls soccer team will take part in the 'Go Pink' games this season in an effort to raise money and increase breast cancer awareness.
When the Trojans travel to Pewaukee to take on the Pirates on Tuesday, April 21, they will be hoping for a large following and special pink T-shirts that were designed by senior captains Pamela Ditscheit and Annie Tritschler. The Trojans are going to try to sell as many T-shirts as possible and donate the money the Leroy Butler Foundation for the fight against breast cancer instead of having a regular fundraiser this year.
Social Networking - The Good and Bad
This comes to us from our friends at Prevention Works with some additional input from me.
According to the Center for Media Research, "Most parents in the United States estimate that their children spend about two hours a month on the internet. In reality, kids and teens are spending upwards of 20 hours a month surfing the Web. 41% of US teens claming their parents have no idea what they are looking at online. The most popular online activities are online dating - 23%, social networking - 50% and playing games - 72%."

Despite Mother Nature, spring season is off and running ... kind of
I hate - yes - hate - spring in Wisconsin. I have lived here my entire life and spring ranks third on my list of fall seasons behind Fall and our two months of summer.
Mother Nature is a big tease. She will 'wow' you with warm temperatures and then dump six inches of snow on you. Just when you relax and think, "Winter might be over," Mother Nature laughs in our face.
Public Health Week, 2009
National Public Health Week is April 6-12 with the theme of "Building the Foundation for a Healthy America". This week is intended to raise awareness nationally and locally of public health's critical role in restoring and ensuring a healthy America. Public Health is a crucial component of the solution because it affects every facet of our lives: our nation, communities, workplaces, schools, and homes.
It is true that our nation's health is in poor shape even though we spend more on health care than any other country. Did you know that . . .?
A baby born in the U.S. is more likely to die before its first birthday than a child born in almost any other developed country.
U.S. life expectancy has reached a record high of 78.1 years but still ranks 46th -- behind Japan and most of Europe, as well as countries such as South Korea and Jordan.
We are among the top 10 countries that have the most people living with HIV/AIDS and it is estimated that one in 20 residents in the nation's capital are HIV positive.
Health disparities persist.
The list goes on and on. . . .

Congregations take message of peace to the streets
Gladys Terichow
November 17, 2009
WINNIPEG, Man.— A peace walk in early November, organized by the Ottawa Mennonite Church adult Sunday School class, gave seven-year-old Maariya Toman a better understanding of why her parents support peace through peaceful means.
"It was a good teachable moment" said her mother, Angelina Toman.
The family was among 50 participants joining for scripture reading, prayer and a song at three designated stops—Parliament Hill, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the National War Memorial and Ottawa City Hall.
The prayers and reflections at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier were particularly meaningful for Toman.
"That's why we are talking about peace—to make sure this doesn't happen again," she said.
This year, Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) developed new resources that assist churches like Ottawa Mennonite in taking the message of peace to the streets, including holding public prayer walks.
Many Mennonite churches organized or participated in prayer walks held in conjunction with their annual Peace Sunday worship services in November, said Esther Epp-Tiessen, MCC Canada's peace program coordinator. These services seek to reflect on Jesus' call to love our enemies, to resist evil non-violently, to pray for peace and to live as people of peace, she said.
Epp-Tiessen said she expects churches will also use this new resource, produced by Matthew Bailey-Dick of MCC Ontario, to organize prayer walks at other times of the year.
For Toman, the act of remembrance provided an opportunity to talk with her daughter about the tragedy of war and explain the significance of MCC's peace button—a small red pin with the words, "To remember is to work for peace."
The button was created in 1989 by MCC Ontario as a way of remembering all people affected by war and to advocate for peaceful resolutions to conflict and injustices.
"It is the first time we wore the peace buttons—the peace button reminds us there is an alternative to war," said Toman.
This year, MCC filled orders for more than 4,500 peace buttons. Most of them were distributed in schools and churches in November.
Jake Buhler from Osler Mennonite Church near Saskatoon, Saskatchewan has six peace buttons that he wears during the month of November and at special events throughout the year.
"I like the message on the pin," he said, explaining he is so committed to sharing this message of peace with others that he placed a professionally-designed highway billboard with the message 'To remember is to work for peace' on a busy highway
between Saskatoon and Prince Albert. The sign was placed on land near Osler owned by his brothers.
Buhler, an educator and student of history is also president of the Mennonite Historical Society Saskatchewan. He said his study of war has convinced him that conflict can be resolved without death, injuries, suffering and violence.
"Let's always look backwards—what happened 20 years before the war?" he asked. "What would have happened if our political policies had been better?"
Non-violent approaches to resolving conflict begin with dialogue and listening, he said. "As long as we are listening to each other there is no violence," he explained. "Conflict is OK but violence is never OK. There has to be a better solution to resolve conflict than through wars."

A call for the repeal of the income tax, abolishment of the Internal Revenue Service and all federal programs and services not required under the U.S. Constitution.

Been a Cubs fan for as long as I can remember, I am almost 42 years old now and don't know if I will ever see the Cubs in the series. They are 3.5 back after 12 games and rank 22nd or worse in all major offensive categories, but at least they aren't going to allow just anybody with a new book or movie deal to sing during the 7th inning stretch this year so maybe that will be a little more bearable.
